2 thoughts on “Dark Subject, Dark Sepia”

Nice quote, Ted! I like the mystery in this one and how you have the one headstone with its back to us, and the other showing beautiful detail. It can be a dark and morbid subject, but there is ambience, a sense of history, and there can also be beauty within the surroundings and in the carvings. The sepia touch really enhances all.

In some ways back to my roots, 50+ years ago shooting black and white. We have shot many old cemeteries in both New England and the France/Germany/Switzerland areas. They may be older than the southern civil war cemeteries,but there is something poetic in old southern Spanish Moss with just enough rust and ruin.

Ellen and I shoot them every few months. It’s a different style and I can compose and develop much different than my usual ways.
